X Box X - 150+ add ons (Aircraft, Airports and Environmental enhancements)
Here is my take on the latest Beta - some things seem better and some still problematic with this latest build.
I tentatively feel that over all this is a slight improvement. I have only tried a few things so far.
This is with lots of add ons and full traffic enabled - I know this makes conclusions difficult BUT it’s a good comparative ‘test’ and a realistic take on what many simmers who do have add ons can expect. At the end of the day the sim needs to be able to cope with add ons!
What is good?
Less stutters - when flying analogue (Robin) it’s beautiful and the environment is looking as good as it ever did - smooth, few less stutters textures/LOD good.
Still issues
When using glass cockpits (cirrus/vision jet tried so far)
There are still black screens as the last build but they seem recover in places where they didn’t in the last build and starting a new flight in places I have screens working whereas the last build I have nothing - except at some airports that have had issues in the past - those that aren’t as optimised as they could be.
Generally I’m seeing less stutters but they are still there. On well optimised airports (Sestri for example I have lots going on there but it’s generally well optimised) I can spawn and screens work but the same old culprits (Fly Tampa Corfu is one) black screens - which was ok pre SU14 but has become a problem again.
I cannot fly in the NY area CTD and or BS.
Pyreegue Airports (Glasgow, Belfast, East Midlands, Edinburgh) ok (no surprise - this guy is a genius - Thankyou!).
Each new flight requires a complete fresh restart other wise memory issues begin - more black screens , AI aircraft begin to loose definition and become simple angular shapes etc
I’ve had a CTD on first sprawling in busy areas.
Conclusion
Flying analogue beautiful and smooth (flying the Cirrus and Robin) feels as real as it ever has - the flight characteristics are I recognise from flying the real aircraft it’s a thrill to experience this in the sim so these flight model improvements are working)
Flying glass cockpits in areas that don’t contain build up areas seems fine
Flying glass cockpits at well optimised airports better than previous build less BS less stutters
Flying glass cockpits at well optimised airports without fresh start BS but recovers when flying away (better)
Flying glass cockpits in airports and busy city areas that aren’t well optimised (but were ok pre SU14 ie ok in SU13) BS, some stuttering and some CTD - disappointing BUT better than previous build
So I think there is progress but still work to be done guys. Thanks for the efforts so far hope this progress continues. If you’re flying in the Beta this weekend there are things to enjoy and be hopeful about, despite the issues that remain. Happy landings!
